This Boy Bag is definitely a stunner, all right. If you notice the fine elements on this piece such as the intricate weave and gold hardware, you’ll love it even more. Since we know how much you adore this line, we’ll allow you to look at it for long. Black and gold are classic, full-proof colors. What a great contrast!

What’s orange, quilted and fabulous? This bag. Exactly our thoughts.

And yet again another piece that’s reminiscent of Chevron quilt! What are your thoughts on this bag?

We’re not so sure about this piece, but we know that it really is extended and more elongated compared to the usual flaps with Mademoiselle locks. Hmmm…do you dig this design?

And here, other bags for your consideration. Of course, let’s not forget about the Camera bag, which is another statement piece from this collection.

Glamorous and fashion-forward, Chanel’s Metiers d’Art Pre-Fall 2016 Runway Bag Collection is definitely packed with pieces we should all watch out for. Take your pick as we give you one of the most unforgettable collections you’ll ever come across. We sure are pumped, and we hope you are, too!

It doesn’t come as a shocker though – the brand has been doing this for years, coming up with fresh, new ideas every season. And that’s not all, because they aside from releases, Chanel is also the masters of reissues. We cannot help but sigh at these babies.

Metiers d’Art is a yearly celebration of the craftsmanship of Chanel ateliers who have worked their way into matching even the most eclectic of materials – this collection is all about diverse patterns, stitched together to create the most exquisite of pieces. Well, we’ve already known the brand to be heavy about their coordinated patterns, but this collection’s definitely on a different level. Well done, Chanel!

Paris is where the fashion is, and where the fashion is there is always Chanel. This is the truth of the world it seems and Coco made it known from the days she fought against the status quo. Even in Rome, Chanel is all about Paris. Karl Lagerfeld does the fashion house much justice. Tuesday night’s Chanel Metiers d’Art pre-fall 2016 showwas rather incredible, as the Chanel shows generally are, but there was something more to be seen this time, almost sending off fireworks into the air.

The fashion show stabbed at our hearts with that tender moment shown for the French capital that is still very much shrouded in grief for the innocents that were lost in the horrific attacks. Attacks that have been rocking many cities of late and taking too many lives. “I didn’t know when we started the idea of Paris in Rome that it would be the best moment to show a perfect, romantic Paris when Paris today in reality is the opposite of a romantic city,” Lagerfeld said during a preview of his latest Métiers d’Art collection. “It’s really unbelievable, no?”

This was a show like no other, featuring an 11-minute movie starring Kristen Stuart, while there were elements of “Gangs of New York” and the “Rome” series seen on HBO. The show itself seemed to tell the story of Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, linking the beauty to the movie business and to the Eternal City itself. The designer’s life and some interesting details from her days in Italy were presented, from strolls to friendships to works in progress; the show included pieces that we would love, including an acrylic shoulder bag shaped like a vintage movie camera, mules with a snake entwined around a pearl on the heel, and lots of lingerie detailing with lace and fingerless gloves so aptly dubbed by Lagerfeld as arm stockings.

Ladies walked onto stage wearing tweed jackets with caped shoulders, a look that is both Paris and Rome combined. There was a slight Italian accent to the long tweed vest and pants combo, something akin to palazzo pajamas, while things were kept light and young and very flirtatious, showing a Coco that everyone can love.

The Chanel pre-fall collection in Rome finished off with lace dresses and purple ostrich feather additions, delicate negligee looks and sophisticated designs that were all French couture. Gamines in schoolgirl tweed appeared within the line-up, along with bourgeois looks complete with white collars and cuffs. There is knitwear to be found, along with pleated skirts, geometric crewnecks and jeweled capelets.

The Chanel Metiers d’Art collection was introduced by Lagerfeld in 2002, made to show off the couture Chanel creates, igniting the pre-collection frenzy and very much becoming the brand’s most celebrated of lines. Paris meets Rome and vice versa here and we cannot help but fall in love over and over again. Somehow, the shows Lagerfeld puts on have some sort of prophetic effect, this one reminding us of the terror attacks and the spring show in Paris done during the Fashion Weeks in October with the airport setting unwittingly alluding to the Air France strike that would take place where the clothing would be ripped off the airline’s chief executive officer. Pretty cool in our books!

Following up on our previous post about the Chanel Mini Tote Bag with Artful Print, here is a preview of the Chanel Métiers d’Art Paris-Salzburg Bag Collection.

This line will be launched next year, but the preview is a good opportunity to find out what we can expect, so that we can start budgeting for our next year’s wish list. (Budgeting? just kidding!).

The runway was held at Schloss Leopoldskron in Salzburg, Austria. It features a lot of iconic handbags like the classic flap bags and even the boy flap bags, but then the updated or redecorated.

Just like this new Chanel Boy Flap Bag. Or should we say tote bag? It’s got a flap and a long masculine chain to carry on your shoulder, but it also features a handle on the top. Painted in green, light-brown and with red arrows on the edges, it’s a whole new experience of carrying a boy bag.

Notice this Chanel Classic Flap Bag, but it’s not what we used to, you know, black, leather and quilted. It’s stitched with little spring flowers, lovely! It comes with an interwoven chain link, which is not leather.

Here is more proof! Is it a headphone or an ear warmer? Nobody knows until the launching date, but given the way it’s structured, it’s almost certain that it is a headphone. Purchase one that matches to the color of your hair, would you get one?

We love all of the fashion seasons equally, but the disadvantage of resort and pre-fall presentations is that we rarely get any detail shots of handbags; usually brands release images of full looks, which only provide a small peak at the entire accessories picture. As with most things, though, Chanel is significantly more thorough than other brands, and the brand just released a full set of press images featured the Chanel Metiers d'Art Paris-Salzburg 2015 handbags.

This collection made its runway debut two weeks ago in Austria, and now we have an up-close idea of what the brand's Salzburg-inspired Pre-Fall 2015 bags will look like. This collection tends to skew less literal than Chanel's previous few runway shows, with Austrian details here and there that generally don't overwhelm the bags. Perhaps the most notable addition to the Chanel handbag lineup is a Boy Bag with a top handle in addition to its usual shoulder strap. It feels a bit like gilding the lily - the Boy Bag is pretty great as-is - but Chanel fans are always hungry for a new variation on an old favorite.

In general, there are lots of those in this collection. Check out the full lineup below; these bags are likely to become available in mid-summer 2015.
